2 cups quick-cooking brown or white rice, cooked according to package directions
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon peanut or olive oil
1 cup peanut sauce (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce or to taste
Prepare rice according to manufacturers instructions.
Skewer strips of chicken on bamboo or metal skewers. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add chicken skewers and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, turning frequently.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, and hot sauce. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, until sauce reduces slightly.
Serve chicken with peanut sauce on the side for dipping and brown rice.
